'Opposition Leader': Iraq to face mass protests over Kuwait maritime deal
Shafaq News – Baghdad Iraq could face sweeping protests in a few days if the government fails to act on a court ruling that annulled a contentious maritime agreement with Kuwait, a lawmaker warned on Monday. In a video message, MP Amir Abdul Jabbar Ismail, who described himself as the 'head of the parliamentary opposition,' cautioned that demonstrators may escalate their demands—after the Arbaeen pilgrimage on August 14—to include calls for the dismissal of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's cabinet unless the ruling is enforced. عاجل⚫️ رئيس المعارضةالنيابية يحذر السوداني من مظاهرات كبرى بعد زيارة الأربعين قد يرتفع مطالب المتظاهرين الى مطلب اقالة الحكومة مالم تتدارك وتنفذ قرار المحكمة الاتحادية 105 / 2023 عبر إيداعه لدى الامم المتحدة ولدى المنظمة البحرية الدولية‼️ عبر @YouTube — عامر عبدالجبار اسماعيل (@AmerAIsmael1) August 4, 2025 The Federal Supreme Court's Decision No. 105 of 2023 overturned Law No. 42 of 2013, which had ratified a 2012 agreement governing navigation in the Khor Abdullah waterway. The court found that the deal was approved in violation of Article 61/IV of Iraq's Constitution, which requires a two-thirds parliamentary majority for treaty ratification. Ismail urged the government to formally deposit the ruling with the United Nations and the International Maritime Organization, and to register Iraq's maritime boundaries. 'This is sincere advice,' he noted, stressing the need to act swiftly to prevent public escalation. While the government defends the Khor Abdullah deal as a step toward regional de-escalation, critics view it as a threat to Iraq's sovereignty. Backed by a majority of lawmakers, the court ruling sparked demonstrations in Baghdad and Basra, where protesters demanded the cancellation of the agreement and immediate implementation of the verdict.

Baghdad-INA First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mohsen Al-Mandlawi affirmed on Sunday his keenness to include a provision in the budget to compensate the Yazidis, noting that what the Yazidis were subjected to is a clear testament to ISIS's terrorism and the vileness of its ideas. In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Al-Mandlawi said, "What the Yazidi community was subjected to on August 3, 2014, represents one of the most painful and soreness moments in the history of modern Iraq. It is a bloody phase that will never be forgotten in the conscience of the nation, and a bleeding wound in the conscience of all humanity." He noted that "the survivors of ISIS represent a clear testament to the terrorism of this organization and the vileness of its ideas." He stressed that "the House of Representatives is keen to serve and protect diversity, having enacted the Yazidi Female Survivors Law to provide justice to the victims." He expressed his "full support for government efforts aimed at resolving the situation in Sinjar, rebuilding, and ensuring the return of displaced persons." Al-Mandlawi stated that he "will work to include a provision in the budget law to allocate funds to compensate victims for the harm they suffered at the hands of ISIS, and will approach the local government in Nineveh to include the largest possible number of Yazidis in this compensation."
